Question
A 4-year-old girl has been experiencing recurrent respiratory infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia, since January 2006. She has been suffering from persistent coughing. A specialist doctor diagnosed her with allergic cough and treated her with Xanthum and Sinupret. Starting in July this year, she switched to traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Her coughing has sometimes improved and sometimes relapsed. She is prone to coughing during changes in weather, and there have been a few instances where wheezing sounds were heard in her lungs. In October, she resumed using Xanthum and Sinupret, and she basically doesn’t cough during normal times, but occasionally coughs with wheezing. The most recent episode was on November 27th, where she received nebulizer inhalation treatment with Aecol and the symptoms quickly alleviate ed. Experts, has her condition developed into asthma?
Answer
